Marcello Rollando talks with fellow New Yorker Tulis McCall

Tulis McCall is an actor, writer, producer and performer. Since 2007, she has hosted Monologues and Madness, an evening of original work read by 12-15 actors, each month at the Cornelia Street Café in Greenwich Village. She is the author of two previous one-person shows, What Everywoman Knows – a historical comedy combined with the true and often neglected stories of our foremothers – was produced at the Public Theatre in New York by Michael Moriarty and the Potters Field Theatre Company and at the West Coast Ensemble in Los Angeles by Dan Lauria, Joanna Kerns and Peter Gatien. McCall has toured this show to theatres, colleges and high schools in over 40 states. Her second one-person show, Running With Scissors – stories of contemporary urban lives – was directed by Philip Proctor of the Firesign Theatre and became Critic’s Choice of both the L.A. Weekly and Backstage West. She is the creator and editor of the theatre review site www.thefrontrowcenter.com (formerly www.ushernonsense.com) which now features 20 writers and covers over 300 shows per year. 

She thinks the theatre is a temple.  Period.
